Just a reminder to keep your hummingbird feeders out for the next couple of weeks. Many of the hummingbirds we enjoyed all summer are well on their way to Mexico and Central America. I am still seeing hummingbirds at my feeders. Often hummingbirds from the north are passing through West Michigan on their migration journey and stop by for a snack. Young hummingbirds are still maturing and many have not left our area yet. Feeding the hummingbirds will help them gain the weight they need and will not at all make them stay here for the winter. Enjoy!

Watching birds out my kitchen window as I make meals for my family has brought me joy and sometimes a distraction or two that has resulted in some over baked cookies or delayed suppers. Sometimes I have to put everything on hold and grab my binoculars to get a closer look or quick browse the field guide to figure out the new bird that had just landed on our feeders. Thankfully my family has understood that bird visits are unplanned events to be enjoyed and they know I will get supper on the table eventually. I invite you to journey with me as I share my birding encounters and passion for backyard birds and more...
